Weight distributing hitches apply leverage between the tow vehicle
and trailer. This assists in equalizing the weight between vehicles,
resulting in both vehicles traveling level. The condition of the tow
vehicle’s suspension system will affect the towing performance
capability of your equipment.

Hitches – Fifth Wheel
The best type of hitch is one that is bolted thru the truck bed floor
and has brackets to attach to main frame members on truck.
Before installing your hitch be aware of the clearance needed
between the truck cab and center of hitch pin. This is very important
on short bed trucks.
Gooseneck hitch adapter is not permitted, due to additional stress it
places on the bulkhead frame. Should you desire a gooseneck
adapter, it MUST be preordered with changes in the front end of
frame, before coach is built. By installing your own after coach is
built, will void warranty on the front end of your coach.
Hitch Height Specifications – Fifth Wheel
There is no recommended hitch height for fifth wheels. The pin box
is adjustable at two inch intervals for variance in trucks and their
suspension systems.
Trailers with tandem axles need to travel as level as possible, avoiding
different weights on each axle plus handling conditions.
CAUTION
!
Using an oversized or undersized hitch can cause damage to the frame of
your travel trailer or tow vehicle.
